Disliked: Cleanliness
An hour b4 check-in, received a call saying the cleaner was ill & our rental was not unavailable. They provided 4 other options, none of which fit our needs. For over an hour our group searched alt options, paid to store our luggage & halted our trip to figure this out in a panic. It felt as though we were being scammed into another listing, all of which were half of what we paid. When I responded that none of the options provided met our needs & I wanted a refund, the story changed. The “manager” said they now had a cleaner on site & it would be ready soon. I was told 12 minutes past check-in the unit was ready. None of it made sense. Why was I called & told it was no longer available if it was just going to be an hour past? They wasted my time, caused panic to the group & were extremely rude & not understanding of our concern. Ultimately, we did get into the house & it was NOT cleaned. There was hair in each restroom, floors had spots/spills, bedding did not smell fresh & more. I was told the cleaning fee would be waived based on the delay with the original cleaner but it should be waived based on the fact the unit was not cleaned prior to our arrival. The home overall was nicely decorated to the description of eclectic. It has a good flow for groups. The air conditioning was freezing in some rooms & non-existent in others which was hot for summer nights. It should also be noted that trash trucks arrive EVERY SINGLE MORNING to service restaurants nearby - lots of noise.

Great location

There are a few maintenance issues that need addressing including towel racks coming lose off the wall upstairs, coffee maker would only work making half a pot and downstairs bedroom door handle needs addressing as it was a struggle to open the door. Would suggest that a mirror be put in that room as well.

Fun spot to visit with old friends

Our group of friends all flew in for some time together to celebrate 30 years of friendship. It was a great place to sit and chat in the living room and it was nice that we each had our own bedroom and bathroom. The bed linens were super comfy and the house was interesting and we enjoyed all the artwork. This is definitely a quirky old place so if you don’t love that, it’s not the right place! But it was perfect for us and the location couldn’t be beat. Easy walking to shops and restaurants. If only we hadn’t visited during a winter storm it would have been absolutely perfect.

Fabulous stay in Austin

We rent properties for short stays in Austin fairly frequently, and this was by far one the best places we have stayed. Our group included 2 adults and 3 teens/young adults. There was ample space for all, and a fun outdoor area to enjoy when 2 other family members joined us for a visit. The house has a very cool vibe, was immaculate and the pictures are very accurate. We were literally 1 block from S. Congress, so it was easy to walk to where a lot of the local action is. But it was surprisingly quiet - never was disturbed by late night noise.We definitely recommend this fun house for a family or friend get-together!

We loved this place!

The house was in a great location for South Congress and downtown. We loved all the curios, prints and paintings. The beds were comfortable and the linens super comfy. A few suggestions: we think the upstairs bathroom in the hall was totally missed for household cleaning. The toilet seat was loose. There was no toilet paper and no vanity kit that was in all the others. We wished there had beef tissues in the bathrooms. The top step was loose on the stairs. We wish there had been a standing light in the living room. The overhead lights were a little bright. However, we would still highly recommend this place to stay in and would definitely stay there again ourselves.
